The Chinch Bugs.

HASTINGS, Mimi, July 1.-Quite a
number of our farmers are cutting their
wheat and barley for hay on account of
the chinch bugs.
RED WING, July Most discouraging
reports as to the condition of the grow

country. Chinch bugs are devastating
everything, the ground being literally
covered with the insects. One farmer
who was in from Burnside to-day said
he would cut his wheat while green, for
fodder, as the hay was failure.

Another Land Ruling.

WAsHINGToN, July 1S.-A general
principle of long standing and consid-
cradle Importance in the administra-
ton Of public matters is reallirmed by
Acting Secretary Muldrow in his rul-
ing upon the case of James Young, o
homestead entryman of Salt Lake City.
Its purport is that no amount of cul-
tivation and Improvement and no
showing of good faith in other re-
spects can atone for the lack of actual
residence upon the land sought to be
secured, and that actual residence
does not give validity to the claim ex,
cept in so far as it shows an Intention
to make such residence permanent
beyond the requirement of title
Young had cultivated fifty acres of
his claim, constructed irrigating
bitches and constructed a house in
which he personally lived. His i'm
provements were valued at from
81 200 to $1,000. His family, how
ever ,remained,upon the place cwnedby
him half q mile distant, and it was in
evidence that he designed abandoning
his new claim as place of residence
as he had made his title secure, A
contest was made by one Van Os.
trum, professional contestant. who
purposes gaining some preference
rights and selling them out. The To-
cal officers and commissioner decided
for Young and against Van Ostrum.
The acting secretary orders notifca-
tion of this decision. He says that
while Van Ostrum cannot acquire
any rights in the matter the govern
ment is not estopped from acting up
on the information it has gained, and
thataahe directs the cancellation OF
Young's claim The general priLci-
pie influences the decision in the case
of Frank Young, homesteader, of
Huron, ID. r. He has three years Of
military service TO his credit and was,
therefore, not required to live more
than two years upon his claim. He
left his family in Illinois and only
spent about half Of his time on the
claim, rendering it matter of doubt
whether he ever changed his resi-
dence from Illinois. The local Off
GERS held his final proof sufficient, but
the commissioner reversed the find
ing and held the entry for cancella-
tioD. The acting secretary gives the
claimant the benefit of the doubt, in
asmuch as there is no adverse claim,
orders that he be given another OPP
portunity to furnish final proof within
the lifetime of his entry.s

A whole car load Of fine shoes had

while there case of fine shoes had
been stolen from the car. There was
no clew to the thief, and although
we suspected the members of pretty
tough gang there was no proof. One

I'd get close to him, for it struck me
he had new pair of shoes on. He
got on to me and popped into a
church. 1t was Sunday morning,
and the church was crowded. He
went in and knelt down near the door,
and saw the bottoms of his shoes,
with the mark of the company who
had shipped the stolen articles brand
ed in the shank. slapped him on
the shoulder and took him outside.
Thon l placed him under arrest, and
he gave the entire gang away, so
that we had no difficulty in breaking
it up for good,-Globe- Democrat.

Reviving a Bride.

Assistant Secretary Thompson. of

persons, writes q correspondent Of
the Baltimore american, but not un-
til recently did he have an opportuni-
ty to display his skill in that line for

A party of New England excursion
lists were passing through the depart
ment, among them being newly
married couple. In consequence of
over-exertion or the poor sanitary
condition of the Treasury, the young
bride fell in o faint Immediately in
frontsof Mr.. Thompson's Office. Hear
ing the commotion in the corridor,
Mr.. Thompson opened his door, and,
taking in the situation at glance,
directed that the fainting lady be laid
upon the sofa in his room. The
young husband was almost frantic,
and with an utter disregard for the
presence of strangers, he endeavored
to restore her to consciousness by
pressing her to his bosom and caress-
ing her extravagantly. Mr.. Thomp-
son suggested his infallible remedy of
stretching the patent upon her back
with her head downward, so as to al
low the blood to circulate to the
brain, The young husband at first
demonstrated against what seemed to
him to be treatment too heroic for hs
better half, but he finally consented,
and in few moments the young lady
was restored and the happy couple re-
Joined their friends, and continued

Gittin gs, of Columbia, S. G.. The

arrival he found the lady stretched
out upon a sofa, with high pillow
under her head. The doctors first
instructions were to "take tho pillow
from under her head and place the
family Bible under her heels, and she
will be all right in moment" Mr..
Thompson never forgot this remedy,
and he has practiced it repeatedly
with great success.

those present seemed oblivious of
them. Every few minutes the Presi-
dent glanced in their direction, and
each time their amusing antics caus-
ed a broad smile to illuminate his
countenance.
Finally, when oil the visitors had
paid their respects and the room was
deserted, with the exception of few
newspaper men, the President cross
ed over to their corner and disturbed
their dream of love by suddenly ask
ing if he could have the pleasure of
shaking hands with them. The
young husband was so confused he
nearly threw his bride to the floor in
his effort to gain his feet. The Presi-
dent without apparently noticing
their embarrassment chatted pleasant
ly with them few moments. When
they took their departure the Presi-
dent gave them a cordial grasp of the
hand and invited them to call and
see him again when next they visited

not slow TO accept.
